I'd appreciate if somone would translate the first paragraph of the article into English. Dan 06:38, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

"Max Scheler extended the phenomenological method to include a reduction of the scientific method too, thus questioning the idea of Husserl that phenomenological philosophy should be pursued as a rigorous science. Natural and scientific attitudes (Einstellung) are both phenomenologically counterpositive and hence must be sublated in the advancement of the real phenomenological reduction which, in the eyes of Scheler, has more the shapes of an allround ascesis (Askese) rather than a mere logical procedure of suspending the existential judgments. The Wesenschau, according to Scheler, is an act of blowing up the Sosein limits of Sein A into the essential-ontological domain of Sein B, in short, an ontological participation of Sosenheiten, seeing the things as such (cf. the Buddhist concept of tathata, and the Christian theological quidditas)."

Does this paragraph have any meaning whatsoever? I've read it several times, but can't understand what it is supposed to mean (even for someone who knows Heidegger and German). And whence the jarring insertion of Buddhist Tathagata all of a sudden? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.153.88.235 (talk) 11:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
